    If I didn't want to delete the unit, I wouldn't have pressed the delete key.

    Can we have an option in the settings to turn this on/off depending on preference?

    Or you could just let pressing delete again cancel the count down....

    I think this pop up schould only pop-up if you want to delete the commander.
    Edit: grammar.

    Sorry, I meant " should " . Yeah every unit is stupid, just if you want to delete the commander.

    Why not show a countdown above the unit and be able to undo the selfdestruct by repressing delete.
    Or switch keys so that you have to press a certain combination.

    I like the option, and it should just be in options or whatever.

    Also, there should be a mod able to remove this entirely. Someone will make it in what I presume to be the next week.

    LOL

    wtf is that? who would want a prompt?

    do we have some hidden masochism?

    Remove this please, uber.
    this, simple solution FA had.

    plus possibility to set a key for immediate destruct with no cooldown.

    who the f presses delete by accident?

    Don't know if anyone else has suggested this yet, but I'd only see the Delete Notification being useful for an accidental commander deletion or something of that scale.

    Personally, I think a Commander Deletion should have a cool UI to go with it, perhaps even a separate graphical effect, as a neat way of conceding the game.

    basicallyjustabump.

    This is really easy to get rid of with UI mods, so if no one beats me to it (hopefully Uber does), I'll have a mod ready for when the stable build gets updated.

    It would be pretty cool to have a unique surrender UI.

    Commander points uber cannon at his head and fires, as a way to self destruct. Or, it opens its chest and removes some power core its hand which overloads and explodes.

    At least for the commander, it would be nice with a visual countdown ideally with some nifty graphics to go with it. This along with the ability to cancel should serve the same purpose as the confirmation, in a far more elegant and fluid manner. At the very least put an audible countdown (*cough* TA had this *cough*), with or without a numeric one.

    You might be a massive pro, but I did play with new people who a accidentally deleted their comanders... :/

    I vote it stays.

    You guys are experienced players, and yet again don't think about the average user. It'd be a good solution to have a toggle in options to turn this on or off though.

    Maybe only keep the popup for the commander then?

    I think it is a good idea to keep it. Especially with a lot of new players coming in. I have accidentally deleted units before so I think this is a good feature.
